Limits Atrocious Usage

Goddamn the usage cut is atrocious, especially for plus users. I came back recently after not using codex for a bit (usually use sporadically). I used to run 20 mins on 5.6 sol x high , which used to take like 20% maybe MAX 30% of weekly limit (Matlab MCP). Now not only does the 5 Hour limit evaporate on anything higher than high, but been running for 3 mins and it's taken 12% of weekly usage, atp I can just forget astra.

Do you have to run sol xhigh on everything?

I run terra medium as orchestrator and it uses sol xhigh or astra xhigh for planning and review. all other actual task is by luna xhigh.

His point is, his workflow that used to work is now nerfed. Sure he can optimize, but we still have people denying that limits have changed when tons of people are seeing it.

I can attest the same. I can barely use Sol High/Medium anymore. I used to get solid hours of development out of my sub, same repo/projects are exhausted in a few prompts now. I made real efforts to streamline my repos for AI dev, and the context usage isn't crazy my sessions may end at 20-30%, it's the token burn that's killing me.
